Peregrine soliton

3D view of the spatio-temporal evolution of a Peregrine soliton

The Peregrine soliton (or Peregrine breather) is an analytic solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.[1] This solution was proposed in 1983 by Howell Peregrine, researcher at the mathematics department of the University of Bristol.
